'Can men be taught not to rape?'

Article here. Excerpt:

'As Maxwell, a rape survivor herself, told Salon on Friday, “I don’t think we need to be telling a rape survivor that statistics are not on your side. That’s insensitive.” But where she drew outrage was in her suggestion to Hannity that “I don’t think that we should be telling women anything. I think we should be telling men not to rape women and start the conversation there.” She told Hannity, “You’re talking about this as if it’s some faceless, nameless criminal, when a lot of times it’s someone you know and trust,” adding, “If you train men not to grow up to become rapists, you prevent rape.
...
... We need to remember, as a revealing Reddit thread last year proved, that a rapist can be your friend or your boyfriend or your co-worker. We need to acknowledge that a rapist can be your husband. That, as chilling as it is to admit, as Maxwell says, “Those kids in Steubenville were average guys.”
...
... We’re telling women to be afraid of the person in the bushes when it’s the person in your house. We need a reality check. We’re talking about the wrong things. We’re asking the wrong questions.”'

... it's happening everywhere, left and right, and you're dating a RAPIST... you're married to a RAPIST... your father is/was a RAPIST, your brother's a RAPIST, they're EVERYWHERE since MEN are EVERYWHERE and if they're not RAPISTS yet they will be and if they are not currently RAPISTS they once were, but in any case, rape, Rape, RAPE!!!

*sigh*

It's one thing to hear it on college campuses. But now, it's getting air in mainstream outlets. (Witness Ashley Judd's recent rape-anoia rant.). Seriously, just wonder how much further this nutsery'll go.

Hey, aren't women pretty much categorically deceitful manipulators, prone to such should-be crimes as paternity fraud and the use of false accusations of all kinds in many contexts, and aren't they all inveterate liars who can't be trusted-- you can't trust them at all, in fact, and that's something they can all do something about, isn't it. They're ALL like that and ALL responsible for it and if they aren't currently lying to you or trying to manipulate or defraud you, they just haven't gotten to you yet. Really, don't even talk to them.

Sounds fair enough, yes?

When using gender-neutral definitions of rape the result is that 40% of rapists are women.

"Seriously, just wonder how much further this nutsery'll go."

I keep hoping this is the fabled "worst" before things get better. The feminist panic driven drive to throwas much bullshit in hopes it sticks before their lies get swept aside. I know I know, it's a fools hope, but hope is good

Can we teach gender feminists not to engage in Witch-Hunting Males?

Seriously, it is easy to make the case that that all feminists are liars. There is plenty of solid evidence backing this up. Perhaps we should first teach feminists to stop lying and then we can see the real facts about rape, domestic violence, etc, etc...

In my area we just had 3 men (all over 50) stop a woman from possibly being raped. A man who is a convicted sex offender tried to force a 18 year old women into a vehicle. Three older men, were sitting nearby having coffee, leaped into action and chased the man down until police came.

Men are far more likely to rescue a woman then to harm a woman.
